World's Largest Zombie Walk August 29
The Louisville Zombie Attack is the world's largest zombie walk, a free event held every year on August 29 in good fun. This is the tenth year for this walk that began as a themed birthday celebration for its originators who both celebrate a birthday on August 29. With the rise in popularity of everything zombie-themed, the originators of this event seem to have been ahead of their time.
They were looking for a unique way to celebrate their shared birthday, so they printed some invitations to their zombie themed party. They expected a few friends to show up for the birthday festivities. Over one hundred zombies came out to the birthday party in 2005 and a Louisville tradition was born.
The Significance of Eight Twenty-Nine
The Louisville Zombie Attack includes the Zombie Walk through Louisville that begins at 8:29pm. Yes, there is a pattern - August 29, 8/29, 8:29. The 2013 crowd hit the 20,000 mark and the festivities have grown to include music, movies, art and performance at multiple locations around Louisville.
A Heyday for Makeup Artists
